"Missing White Woman Syndrome" refers to the disproportionate media attention given to cases of missing young, attractive, white, and upper-middle-class women and girls, particularly in comparison to the coverage of missing people of color, especially women and girls. This phenomenon has been observed and discussed by social scientists, media commentators, and activists.
The term was popularized by
Gwen Ifill, a journalist, to describe the media's tendency to focus on cases of missing white women while often overlooking or underreporting similar cases involving women and girls of color. This disparity in coverage raises concerns about systemic biases in media representation and the potential impact on public perception of crime and safety,
according to a study from MDPI.
Ever notice on Foxnews.com that many of these missing or killed women are WHITE?
